TIFF Interest List 2017
This is a list to track things I want to catch at The Toronto International Film Festival in 2017. As usual it is an excellent line-up and, starting with over 100 films, obviously no chance of catching all of these in 10 days, but I will try my best.
As I watch things they will be moved to this list.
The list is in alphabetical order after the opening film. My Top 20 picks can be found on this list.
